Health Benefits

Thanks to their impressive nutrient and polyphenol profile, eating microgreens has been shown to reduce the risk of certain types of chronic disease.

One review showed that microgreen intake was associated with a lower risk of several types of cancer, including prostate cancer and cancers affecting the digestive tract.

Increased microgreen intake has also been linked with lower inflammation and a reduced risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes and obesity. Because microgreens boast a similar but enhanced nutrient profile to full-sized vegetables and an even higher amount of polyphenols, they may also carry the same disease-busting benefits. Polyphenols are important natural chemicals that are found in many foods and contain powerful antioxidant properties. Antioxidants help prevent the buildup of harmful free radicals, which are highly reactive compounds that form in the body and can cause damage to cells as well as chronic disease. Polyphenols have been associated with a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer and alzheimer’s disease.
